Teacher use SLS assessment tools to check students' understanding of cheese.

Discuss gaps in learning by looking at the SLS Heatmap is an example of ​ ​ (a)  

Hint: Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement.

• augmentation
• modification
• redefinition
• substitution

Answer explanation

Augmentation strategies use Tech to enhance learning and add value.

In this case, the teacher is using an SLS assessment tool to check students' understanding of cheese. By looking at the SLS Heatmap, the teacher can identify gaps in learning and use this information to inform instruction. This type of assessment is beneficial because it allows the teacher to quickly and accurately assess student understanding and adjust instruction accordingly.

Students use Google Slides to create a

presentation providing information about guidelines on My Healthy Plate.

This is an example of (a)   in NFS lesson design.

Hint: Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional improvement.

• substitution
• modification
• redefinition

Answer explanation

This is an example of a direct tool substitution in NFS lesson design.

In this case, technology (Google Slides) is being used as a direct substitute for a traditional presentation tool, such as a poster or handout, with no functional improvement.

The purpose of the lesson is to provide information about guidelines on My Healthy Plate, and the technology is simply being used as a tool to present the information.

Teacher gets students to consult Chef Eric or Chef Bob via Zoom, on how to improve their traditional ethnic dishes.
